Hi dang, We (huntbnb) apologize for the confusion. This is some genuine work we did and have been getting some great attention from the media folks (http://pando.com/2014/08/13/thanks-to-huntbnb-people-who-secretly-list-their-apartment-on-airbnb-have-nowhere-to-hide/ http://pando.com/2014/08/13/thanks-to-huntbnb-people-who-sec...) and several users across the country. Our only motive behind getting on HN is to get more visibility and take this to more users. This is our (at least mine) first time posting something on HN and obviously we didn't do it right. We initially posted it but couldn't view it and re-did it again twice. We had no intentions behind scamming the voting process nor we tried to up vote. It's just that we didn't do it right. And we apologize for one of our members accusing you guys for censoring our post, because we genuinely were frustrated for not letting us post something. Again, that was uncalled for and we apologize. The recent post by "taitems" was by someone who read one of the articles about us online; it wasn't any of our members. We were so excited about a) someone thinking that our feature is a HN material, and b) getting good attention from a lot of HN users. Unfortunately, it didn't last longer since we were mistaken for astroturf'ing HN. Again, we sincerely respect your decision and this is a good learning lesson for us to be careful from hereon. The only reason I'm writing back is we strongly believe in the value HN brings to any new and upcoming ideas by giving them the right visibility and want you guys to realize that we aren't any sock puppets trying to move up HN for fun. That'd be the last thing we do. Thank you for your time!!
